I'm getting a very confusing password prompt. It says 'Enter the password for “Apollo”, which is not the password for this MacBook Pro.'
This is confusing because "Apollo" is the name of this, my only MacBook Pro. The statement in the prompt is false. When I enter my password, the prompt just repeats. What should I do?
I just encountered this challenge, too, in a slightly different context.
I was remote logging in to my account on the family iMac for the first time after the machine had been upgraded to High Sierra. I was first challenged for my iCloud password (as expected), then asked for the password to my personal MacBook Pro.
Maybe it's an extra layer of security, but it feels wrong. Apple may not know or find out what my MBPro password is, but why even keep the encrypted version of it anywhere but the host machine?

Never mind. It went away after a restart.
I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I have two user accounts on this MacBook. One for home, one for work. I'm usually logged in to iCloud from both accounts. One device, two accounts, same person, same iCloud.
"Enter Password for Other MacBook Pro" - What now?
